wolvenprinc's blog: "Saving Casey"

Chapter 2 : Councilors and Health Class Thanks you so much for all of the reviews. I'm not sure if im gonna kill her off or not, and its not like A Walk to Remember very good book and movie cried at both...and now on with the story. --- Derek was downstairs eating a bowl of cereal when Casey came down. He watched her move around the kitchen. Casey sat down in front of him with a bowl of frosted flakes and a glass of orange juice. They sat quietly eating when someone spoke. "So are you feeling better?" Derek asked. "Yeah." She answered back. "Good so Casey what's going on in Loserville?" Derek smirked. "You should know, since your apart of it." Casey shot back. " Oooo, touchy." He drawled. "Oh, shut up!" she snapped. "No. Why don't you stop being and so bossy and maybe I'll stop." Derek glared. She rolled her eyes and put her bowl in the sink and stomped off up to her room. Derek was just about to finish up when Marti, Lizzie, and Edwin came into the room. Marti jumped up and down. "Smerek guess what?" Marti squealed. "Smarti! what?" He looked at his little sister. "I'm going on a field trip today." Marti go up and sat on a stool. "You're lucky, Where are you going." He asked. "The zoo." Marti said. "Cool, well got to get going. See ya guys later." Derek kissed Marti on top of the head as he got up and left. Lizzie and Edwin looked at each other and said at the same time." Teenagers," and got up and went out the door. ----------------------------- It was the break before 7th period, the last period of the day. Casey got her health book. She had health with Derek , so she hoped that the class would fly by. Casey walked to the front office and knocked on the guidance councilor door. "Come in." She heard the voice from behind the door. She entered. "Casey, Hi." Paul greeted. "Hello Paul. How are you?" Casey asked politely. " Good, good, so um sit down." Paul gestured to the chair in front of his desk. She sat. "I need to get something off my chest." Casey looked to Paul just nodded, thinking it was probably something to do with her step-brother Derek. "Okay, I'm about to tell you something that I've kept a secret for a long time; not even my family knows about this except my Mom and sister." She told him. He blinked in confusion, "Go on." he suggested. " Well okay, I'm gonna try and not get misty eyed." He nodded and saw that tears already started to form. "Casey what is it?" Paul asked gently. " Well since Wednesday is the last day until summer I'm telling you now. Okay when I was about twelve, I had Leukemia." She finally got out. Paul blinked again but this time in surprised, he hadn't been expecting that. He nodded signaling for her to continue. "Well I never talked about this with anyone, and it going on about five years now that I've been cancer free and I just wanted to talk about it with someone since you know I've kept this a secret for so long. I just got the urge to bust." She panted after her out burst. Paul nodded, " So what happened?" " Well, I went through chemotherapy for a couple of months until the treatment until the cancer stop responding to it. Then I got two bone marrow transplants. The bone marrow transplants helped, but I'm still scared at the possibility that the cancer can come back." Casey finished and she wiped the tears off her cheeks. Paul just looked at her, quietly and surprised at the things that Casey had just told him. " That's why I can't stand being tease, like I was when I first started her." Casey started to explain. " I got t made fun of an awful lot about the cancer, I mean not a little, I mean a lot, almost everyday, and when I get made fun of, it brings back memories back of all those times , and the pain form that time. I was hard on my sister Lizzie, though she never talked about it. I can see that she still worries about it. That girl was so much help, she still is a big help, especially when Derek and I get into one of our fights. She'll try and make me feel better, or make the fight better, whatever she could do she tries it." Casey looked at her watch, the break was almost over and she didn't want to be late to class and looked to Paul and said, " I better get going." Paul just nodded and watched her walk out of his walk out of his office. "Bye." --------------------------------------------- Derek looked around the hall, while heading to Health and didn't see Casey anywhere. He got to the Health classroom and entered. He figured that she was already in class and when he got there he didn't she her in there. He put his books down and went back out to the hall to look for her. He had been worried about her since yesterday morning. He saw her ahead turning the corner to come to class. She passed him and she flashed a smile his way and he noticed something about her. ' She's been crying.' he said to himself and went to sit down. "Okay class, since school is almost over and that means Finals time. For your final I want you to write a paper on a certain illness of the human body, your going to have a partner but I get to choose them. Now in this report your going to write about the illness and in this I want What it is , What it does, the body parts that is effected most by the disease , signs if there is any and Is there a cure and what the treatment is." Mrs. Larson told the class, taking a breath the teacher continued, " The paper is due Monday and Tuesday. Now for the partners," he's finished and the class groaned. "Sabrina and Chase." Called the teacher. "Emily and Chris." "Tom and Suzie." "Casey and Derek." (An: you probably knew that was coming...lol) They looked at each other and both nodded and the teacher went on calling the other partners. " Alright now with that settled, it is time for you to pick the disease that you are going to be writing about. So one of your partners are going to come up here and drawl out a piece of paper. On that piece will be the disease." The teacher started to call people up. Casey let Derek get it. Then Mr. Larson started to talk about cancer. Casey stiffened up when he mentioned Leukemia. Derek looked like he was actually not the subject on Cancer. (An: sorry if Derek is a little out of character, I kinda need him to be for this story, and he's kind of hard to write as well.) Casey continued to stare into space even when the final bell rang she still didn't notice people leaving until Derek came up to her and tapped her on the shoulder. " Case, its time to go," Derek pointed out. Only then did Casey come back to earth. "Oh." was the only thing she said. She got her books and walked out the door with Derek who waited patiently at the door. "So what are we writing about?" Casey asked. "Um..." Derek looked down at the paper. " Leukemia." Casey stopped in her tracks and bumped in to Derek, who stopped and looked at her. "What?" she asked and she looked horrified. " Leukemia." Derek said, yet again. " Casey what's the matter?" He asked, noticing her look. " Um, nothing lets get home," She said, rather quickly. Derek raised an eyebrow at her, and let the subject alone. 'Its going to be a long a very long weekend' He thought to himself and follow her home ------------------------------- Well there's Chapter two.
